Next week Is CHRoNICLEwil begin
the publication of series of articles
upon the above named subject, pre-
pared expressly for this paper by
Esq. G.. II. Slaughter.
After the close of this series, if the
readers are interested. the, same
author will furnish a second series,
termed "Infidelity Reputed, or proofs
Of the Immortality of the human
SOUL" obtaining his evidence mainly,
in both cases, independent of the
bible, or rather without the aid Of
that great and good book, prefering
as he says, to leave that as additional,
or coroborative proof. Whilst these
subjects may not at present be of as
much interest to many readers, as
some of a different nature, such as
the regulation of the tariff, Prohibi-
ton, ETC., etc. Esq. Slaughter thinks
they may be at some time in the
future, and that it might be well for
some of them to begin to think lit
tie about their chances for future
residences where neither Prohibition
or tariff question will be known
The merits, or the dement's o. the
forthcoming articles are not to be dis
cussed here. but it is trusted that
readers of the CHRONICLE will give
them fair consideration.
A BIG BAPTISING.
Notwithstanding the cold wave
that existed last Sunday, the colored
people that have recently been con-
verified at st. Johns church in this
city, turned out to the number of
fifty-three, most of whom were wo-
men, and were baptised in the Cum
berland by the regular pastor of the
church. During the ceremony the
wind blew almost a hurricane from
the northwest but the brave people
stood the ordeal with the most won
derful courage. Another large squad
Of converts yet remains to be i'm
mersed, as it was learned that eighty
five were enlisted for last Sunday.
Seven persons were baptised at the
Cumberland Presbyterian church
last Sunday, and the good work Of
the revival is still going on there.
| Elder D. w. Case will resume his
pulpit at the Howell. school tenor
row as Pastor of the Christian con
gregation.
The new Presbyterian church, o
Edgefield is now completed. Or
Thanksgiving evening it was opened
with grand sacred concert.
The pastor and wife, of Bilbo Av
enue church, were delightfully."- sur
prised Friday night at the storm O.
the members and friends of Bilbo
who were loaded with all kinds o.
delicious eatables and with various
articles of use in housekeeping. He
and his wife has just moved in a new
house on Bilbo avenue, Nashville
and had begun housekeeping for the
first time.
Esmonde and O'Connor, the Irish
Par iamentarians who are to visit
Memphis next Tuesday, are every
where received with the Creates
enthusiasm. The former is a lineal
descendant Of the immortal Harry
Grattan, while the latter, though
coming from an equally illustriouF
family, has a higher and more sub
stantial claim to the welcome o.
Irish Americans, for he is considered
the ablest debater and most thorough
master of parliamentary tactics ir
the House of Commons. He is tn,
one man that the willy Tory Mem
bers have never been able to catcl
mapping, and to him more than any
one else the Home Rulers are in
debted for their mastery arrange
ment of details and their ever soliC
front to the enemy.-Adana Catholi
